Gorgeous location and views, with very helpful owners (they helped carry things through the rather narrow access to the cottage), confortabel bed and sofas, and better dining chairs than shown in the pictures. One or two points though: (a) the induction hob was difficult to use becaie we were unfamiliar with them, often apparemtly not working due to some unclaer problem with thenpans; (b) there was no terrestrial TV (BBC, ITV, Ch4, ...) -- it was only available through iPlayer, ITVX, and so on for which you need an account; (c) a soap dish/shower in the shower would be useful.

Beautiful views from back and front windows. Good central location for visiting many of the Yorkshire dales attractions. As mentioned in other reviews access to property is via rear garden passing directly in front of neighbours patio doors, which was fully occupied during our stay and during a heat wave so doors open and garden well used. Not a problem really and neighbours friendly enough but it does make you feel a little bit intrusive and conscious of restricting how often you need to pass through.
